Vince Carter has agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, making him an ex-Maverick. Here are some photos from the career of Vinsanity ... most notable his memorable 3-point shot to beat the Spurs in Game 3 of Dallas' first-round playoff series against San Antonio

Vince Carter made it through waivers and was signed by the Mavericks this evening to a three-year contract.

The deal starts at about $3 million, which was all the Mavericks had to offer under terms of the new collective-bargaining agreement. The final two years are partially guaranteed.

Carter (6-6, 220) is an eight-time NBA All-Star who currently ranks 35th on the NBA's all-time scoring list (eighth among active players) with 20,250 career points. The former Rookie of the Year (1998-99) and Slam Dunk Contest winner (2000) holds career averages of 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 925 games (907 starts) with Toronto , New Jersey, Orlando and Phoenix.

Originally the fifth overall selection in the 1998 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, Carter was traded on draft day to the Toronto Raptors where he would help lead that franchise to its first Playoff appearance in 2000. In December of 2004, Carter was traded to the New Jersey Nets where he would team with current-Maverick Jason Kidd. Carter spent five seasons in New Jersey and is still ranked in the franchise's Top 10 in 19 statistical categories.
